"RADIO NOIR"! Henry Slesar's "Murder Preferred" is a masterpiece! One of my TOP THREE favorite CBSRMT episodes of all time. I can listen to this episode over and over. Not a dialogue is wasted. The character development is outstanding. And the actors' performances are monumental, especially Tony Roberts and Teri Keane (however ALL of the supporting roles are fantastic). The ubiquitous Keane, normally stellar, turns in a particularly memorable role as the unsteady wife of a dead politician who hires attorney C. Tom Hendricks (Roberts) to defend her former lover who is accused of murdering her husband. Set up as a series of dialogues between main character Hendricks and other characters, Tom reluctantly delves into a convoluted (sometimes violent) story of party politics, jealousy, blackmail, drugs, and insurance fraud to try to discover the truth. As we learn, the truth is especially hard to deduce when so many parties stand to lose if uncovered. FIVE STAR MAXIMUM - Juror 4

Radio shows from the golden era of broadcasting are part of "Old Time Radio", or "otr." During the Golden Age of Radio, listeners gathered by their radio to enjoy their favorite radio programs. Radio Mystery Theater (1974-82) was a resurgence of the nostalgia of those radio days.

LISTEN TO RADIO MYSTERY THEATER

Those who experienced the old time radio will enjoy listening to these programs for nostalgia, but a new generation of listeners and fans are discovering CBSRMT for the first time and are finding they love Radio Mystery Theater Episodes and Old Time Radio! Pleasant dreams... hhmmmmmm?
